Brandy Marine Stewart, 23, of McIntyre Court in Brunswick was at home last Sunday when Marlin Dwayne Tootle, 36 knocked on her door after they had argued over the telephone. Brandy was holding her 20-pound child in her arms as she opened the door but that did not stop Tootle from punching her in the face. But the beating did rot stop at the punch in Marlin Dwayne Tootle, 36 the face. He continued to beat her and when the police arrived, she was unable to move her legs. She was in a life- threatening condition after the attack and was taken to the Brunswick Southeast Georgia Health System Hospital where she died from her injuries on Thursday. Tootle was originally charged with aggravated battery, aggravated assault and cruelty to children. The charge of murder was added after Stewart's death. He has been jailed without bond. This was Brunswick's sixth homicide this year. Three Charged in Toddler's Death -L ir 'L April Worthy, 22 Brittany Worthy, 22 Sammie Lee Worthy, Jr., 21 A Lake City mother of a 2-year-old and an 18-month- old apparently trusted April Worthy, 22, to care for her children while she was out of the city. It appeared that April was in charge of caring for the children and was being assisted by Brittany Worthy, 22 and Sammie Lee Worthy, Jr., 21. However, on Saturday night, it has been reported that April beat the toddler, resulting in bruising and punctures of the skin. Police were called when paramedics were called to the home and found the toddler having trouble breathing. The child was taken immediately to Shands in Gainesville and died the next day. After much discussion with adults living in the home, it was determined that all three were responsible for the death. April and Britany have been charged with one count of first degree murder and one count of aggravat- ed child abuse. Sammie has been charged with one count of second-degree murder and one count of aggra- vated child abuse. They were arrested Thursday and ordered to be held without bail.

Happy Birthday Senator Hill State Senator Tony Hill He did not celebrate his, birthday Thursday, but held a conference to help put together a program to help the youth in. Florida get a good education. That is the personality he always por- trays. SLOW GROWTH OF THE ECONOMY BEATS A RETURN TO THE RECESSIONARY POLICIES FORCED UPON AMERICA BEFORE OBAMA! Schools at a Rate of 23% By Dan Evans, The Florida Star, The Georgia Star Dr. John H. Jackson, center, President & CEO of Schott Foundation with Jacksonville city and state leaders at conference to take aim at poor graduation rate for black males. The report of Duval County School Board Superintendent Ed Pratt-Daniels being rated as just-shy of "highly effective," is still ringing in conversation throughout Duval County. The concern is the fact that there are still failing schools and the graduation rate of the Black male is at risk. A report prepared by Dr. John Jackson, entitled "Yes We Can" shows American public schools fail over half of the nation's Black male students. State Senator Tony Hill finds this unaccepted and has taken up the mantle to do something. The Schott report found that between 2007 and 2008, forty seven per cent of black males graduated on the nationAl level; 37 % in the State of Florida and 23% in Duval County. Dr. Jackson, CEO and President of The Schott Foundation for Public Education, documented the performance rates and provide ways to improve pub- lic education for Florida's young black men. Dr. Johnson, in a focus group explained that education starts in the cradle and continues throughout life. The focus group included members of the Jacksonville NAACP education commit- tee, President of 100 Black Men of Jacksonville, as well as church and commu- nity leaders, The challenge was to come up with a plan to address the pit falls that cause young men to go off course and ways to get them back on course. Emphases were placed on having a good curriculum, excellent teachers, proper resources, and community involvement. Dr. Jackson suggested a student recov- ery plan that at the time of inception would involve the student for two to three years. The concern is that education in Florida is a civil right, and 16 year olds are allowed to drop out of school. Senator Hill stated that is not acceptable. It was suggested that organizations like those 'in attendance, help to get 'paid' mentors to help the students. It is imperative that action is taken to change this, said the senator. Broward County, Pinellas County, Palm Beach County, and Duval County are the worst performing districts in the state. "YES WE CAN" calls on the federal government and states to ensure that all students have a right to an opportunity to learn, not as a matter of competition, but as a civil and human right and is therefore highly recommended to begin immediately. Job Openings Rose in July After two months of declines, according to the Labor Department, job openings rose in July. The number of jobs advertised rose by 6.2 percent to 3.04 million. This is the highest total since April when an increase occurred because of the census hiring. Even with the increase, total openings, according to the report, remain below the 4.4 million that existed in December 2007 when the recession began. There was a peak in November 2009 of 6.3 but more than the 1.8 unem- ployed when the recession began. The lack of hiring is what is causing the recession feeling, said an economist at Credit Suisse. The industries that show the biggest increase in job openings is education and health services and leisure and hospitality. There is still some major differences. While white unemployment only went up from 8.6 percent to 8.7 percent, black unemployment went up from 15.6 per- cent to 16.3 percent. Lloyd Gets a Hair Cut Yes, it is the R&B crooner known as "Mr. Long Hair Don't Care." Lloyd. The singer has been growing his hair for more than ten years but has decided to cut off his locks to provide a hair piece for a financially disadvantaged child suffering from long-term medical hair loss. He is hoping this move will inspire others to donate. Edilorial A-2 Church A-3 Lifestyle A-4 State-Nalonal A-5 Entertainmenl A-6 Prep Rap .. B-5 & 6 Local B-1 Columns B-2 Sports B-4 Did You Hear?

Jacksonville Chamber of Copmerce First Coast African American Chamber of Commerce SFAB SAAPA SOUTHEASTERN AFRICAN AMERICAN PUBUSHER'S ASSOCIATION National Newspaper Publishers Association VERIFICATION VOTE WHY? Why should African Americans, other minorities, women and all civic and human rights advocates vote... because people were beaten, jailed, killed and otherwise suffered for over two centuries for this fundamen- tal right. Below are a few other reasons to Vote: S The struggle and assassination of of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the words of his 1963 March on Washington speech should encourage you: http://www.mlkonline.net/video-i-have-a-dream-speech.html * To honor the legacy of those who were active in the Civil lights Movement, with organizations such as the NAACP, SNCC, CORE, SCLC and others. * On June 21, 1964, three young civil rights workers, a 21-year-old black Mississippian, James Chaney, and two white New Yorkers, Andrew Goodman, 20, and Michael Schwerner, 24 were murdered near Philadelphia, Mississippi. They had been working to register black voters in Mississippi during Freedom Summer and had gone to investigate the burning of a black church. They were arrested by the police on trumped-up charges, imprisoned for several hours, and then released after dark into the hands of the Ku Klux Klan, who beat and murdered them. It was later proven in court that a conspiracy existed between members of Neshoba County's law enforcement and the Ku Klux Klan to kill them. * Medgar Wiley Evers was born on July 2, 1925 and was murdered on June 12, 1963 and was an African American civil rights activist from Mississippi who was buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery after being assassinated by Ku Klux Klan member Byron De La Beckwith. Evers' life, his murder, and the resulting trials inspired protests as well as numerous works including music and film. A number of nameless and faceless Freedom Fighters could and should be included in this brief timeline describ- ing oppression, persecution, and discrimination in regards to voting rights. In all of these cases those affected were not passive victims, rather they fought back with whatever means they had. Similarly, much of this short summary is presented in the form of legislative and legal milestones. But all of those laws and court cases were the direct result of constant struggles and mass political pressure. In no case did benevolent legislators enact civil rights laws or magnanimous judges rule against discrimination without being forced to do so by we the people. The stories of the freedom struggles and resistance to oppression continues to fill books, and civil rights muse- ums and institutes across America. Though museums, books and documentaries alone cannot document the details of civil rights battles, but it is crucial to remember that from every act of oppression grew many forms of resistance and every victorious milestone on the Freedom Trail was achieved with blood, sweat, and tears. The two main issues addressed by the.Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s were ending the "Jim Crow" system of segregation and winning the right to vote for African-Americans. The Freedom/Civil Rights Movement of the sixties did not spontaneously spring up out of nowhere, nor did it disappear when its work was done, but the Movement continues and is as important today, as compared to cen- turies of struggles for human freedom and civil rights. The struggle for Voting rights in America over the past two centuries has been a battle and we can not allow neg- ative news media, individuals or groups to side track us from exercising our right to vote. In The state of Florida, nearly 200,000 persons lost the right to vote between 1995 and 2005 because of the state's Constitutional ex-felon disenfranchisement ban and over 5 million others across this great nation are banned and many of them for life.

Hundreds of the worldwide members of Alpha Kappa Alpha painted the city pink and green, kicking off the event with a "global walk" starting from all over the world to the St. Louis America's Center. The highlight of the convention, which honors sisterhood and service, was a visit from Mrs. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of Liberia and Africa's first woman elected as a head of state. The members from Gamma Rho Omega Chapter, Jacksonville, FL were recognized for their work with economic awareness in the city of Jacksonville with the "Excellence in Economic Empowerment Community Award". This effort was lead by President Mesdames Bonnie Atwater; Vice President Mary Brown and Economics Committee Chairman, Cristia Sasso. Alpha Kappa Alpha was founded in 1908 by 16 women on .the campus of Howard University in Washington. The organization has grown to 250,000 women in more than 950 chap- ters worldwide. The theme for 2010-2014 is "Global Leadership Through Timeless Service." This will require Alpha Kappa Alpha to work SMART. Each initiative is Strategic, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Transferable for enhanced impact. Please visit www.akal908.org for a full view of the program initiatives.

More than 120,000 claim payments totaling over $375 million have already gone to people. affected by the spill. We have committed a $20 billion independent fund to pay all legitimate claims, including lost incomes until people impacted can go back to work. And none of this will be paid by taxpayers. BP has also given grants of $87 million to the states to help tourism recover and bring people back to the Gulf beaches. Restoring The Environment We're going to keep looking for oil and cleaning it up if we find it. Teams will remain in place for as long as it takes to restore the Gulf Coast. And we've dedicated $500 million to work with local and national scientific experts on the impact of the spill and to restore environmental damage. Thousands of BP employees have their roots in the Gulf. We support over 10,000 jobs in the region and people here are our neighbors. We know we haven't always been perfect, but we will be here until the oil is gone and the people and businesses are back to normal. We will do everything we can to make this right.

Phelts 16 year-old Marjorie Meeks Brown who was Secretary of the Youth Council and ran for her life on Ax Handle Saturday, broke through the glass ceiling in 1996 when she rdse to become the first female postmaster of Atlanta Post Office System. Ensuing events from Ax Handle Saturday catapulted Landon L. Williams who was 23 years-old to becoming the youngest person in the history of the International Longshoreman s Association in all of the United States to be elected president of a local ILA. Williams led union members in a wildcat strike at the docks on Monday, August 29, 1960 that left seven ships unloaded at the port. Saturday, August 28, 2010 marked the fiftieth anniversary of a chilling day in Jacksonville History. Fifty years later new com- ers to Jacksonville or those who were too young to remember the racial and political climate of the day frequently ask, "What was Ax Handle Saturday all about?" Sixteen year-old Rodney Lawrence Hurst and 100 of his peers were the key trigger in the infa- mous day that history recorded as Ax Handle Saturday. Nearly 50 years later Rodney Hurst was destined to tell the story in his superbly written award winning book, "It was never about a hot dog and a Coke!" A personal account of the 1960 sit-in demon- strations in Jacksonville, Florida and Ax Handle Saturday. In this article I will briefly describe what took place on Ax Handle Saturday even though I was not there. I too was 16 years-old, but at home under a week long frighten- ing lock down brought about due to the eruption of a race war against the brave NAACP Youth Council members and the leadership of the NAACP. In 1960 there was a racially operated Jacksonville for whites and for blacks. During these segregated times not a sin- gle black-African- American held an elected office. Downtown Jacksonville was the epi- center of business, the only role that Blacks played in downtown business was as spenders-period. Because of the local NAACP led by Rutledge Pearson, change was coming to Jacksonville, even before passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. On the day fated to become Ax Handle Saturday, the NAACP's Youth Council held a sit-in at the lunch counter at the W. T. Grant's Department Store on the North West corer of Main and Adams Street. Youth Council mem- bers were well respected, clean cut, and bright mind- ed young people who were leaders among their peer group. President of the NAACP Youth Council was Rodney Hurst, a 16 year- old entering his freshman year at Edward Waters College. The Youth Council's routine sit-in had instantly turned into a war zone as they were,pounced on by hate mongers. Klansmen, segregationist and racist were handing out ax han- dles and baseball bats like politicians hand out fliers on Election Day. These instruments' were used in bloody attacks against the Youth Council and any black-African-American in sight, old men, old women and any black person who couldn't escape as rapidly as the kids could run. As word of what was taking place reached the black part of Ashley Street, a gang of young school guys known as the Boomerangs ran downtown to help their schoolmates and neighbors out.

Reaching town they wrenched the ax han- dles and baseball bats from the hands of the Klansmen, segregationist and racist and beat them back. As the Boomerangs beat back attackers, Youth Council demonstrators and other black shoppers were able to escape the vicious mob. Half of a century has passed since the day that came to be known as Ax Handle Saturday. So many valiant and courageous mentors who took an active stand for equal civil and economic rights have passed on. But what a glo- rious sight it was 50 years later to see activists of that day: Mrs. Mary Ann (Rutledge) Pearson, Mr. Lloyd. Pearson, II, Richard McKissick, a.k.a. Mayor of Ashley Street; Mr. Wendell Holmes, Mrs. Willie F. Dennis, Mr. and Mrs. Walter White, Dr. Alvin White, Rev. Landon Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Alton (Gwen) Yates, Dr. Arnett Giradeau, Dr. James Henderson, Spencer Meeks, his sister; Marjorie Meeks Brown, Rometa Graham Porter and nearly 1000 others who came downtown 50 years later to hear first hand discussions on what happened on Ax Handle Saturday, August 27, 1960. Thanks Rodney L. Hurst, Sr., Isiah Rumlin and the Jacksonville NAACP for hosting one of the grandest four day forums, discussions and film festi- vals to bring about healing. Though tears still flow when those who were there recall the events fifty years ago just like yesterday. Kweisi Mfume, CEO of the National Medical Association and former National President of the NAACP was the Keynote speaker who was intro- duced by Adora Obi Nweze, President of the Florida NAACP. Excellent speakers describe Mr. Mfume and Mrs. Neweze's presentations and anyone hearing them can under- stand why audiences wel- come opportunities to hear them. Because of the 50th Anniversary forums we were able to witness similar stories that have been docu- mented in film of The Orangeburg Massacre, The Viola Liuzzo Story and Freedom Never Dies The Harry T. Moore Story.

Ho\ can \\e follow~ what someone that i; ne\er there? What \\e do see are titles! The media \\ ill designate any African American with a title as a "leader". Every preacher is a leader, every teacher is a leader and every elected and appointed politician is a Black community leader! Rev. Al Sharpton and his National Action Network recently held an event described as a Black Leadership Meeting. The get together was described as a meeting to "Measure the Movement". A bunch of organization heads, educators, clergy and political puppets gathered on a stage and reportedly told a live and a TV audience what they would do to support Black people. Even though it wasn't Halloween, most of the people on stage seemed scared! They were scared to stand up, scared to speak out, scared to fight for their rights, scared to do anything that would be in conflict with the wants and desires of the exploiters and oppressors of Black people. Yes, they wanted to lead Black Americans but they only wanted to lead us down the path laid out by American racists, white separatists and white supremacists. It takes a village to make up a village! How can you have a Black community leadership meeting if only Black Christians are in attendance? How can you have a Black political leadership meet- ing if only Democrats and Republicans are there? How can you have a Black com- munity business leadership meeting and only employees are there? How can you have a Black community media leadership meeting if there are no radical or inde- pendent Black journalists there? Everybody in the Black community should be able to contribute to efforts to uplift the community and solve some of the community problems. All of us can learn something from any of us! However, the so-called Black leadership would have us believe that our lead- ers are who the news media says they are. Well, I've worked with Rev. Al Sharpton but I certainly wouldn't call him "my leader". I know some of the politicians, scholars, educators and organization pres- idents that were described as leaders but none of them was my leader. Black people in American don't want to be led down the Yellow Brick Road, we want to ride the Money Train! As I always say, in a capitalist economic system, capital is the primary moti- vating factor. If you want to be a "Black Leader ", lead Black people to more jobs, lead them to affordable housing, lead Black people to equal rights and justice and lead Black people to better health and more wealth. Black people want leaders that they can believe in. They want to follow lead- ers that know where they are going. Black people want Black leaders that will tell Black people the truth instead of telling African Americans what non-Blacks want Black people to be told. (Become a fan of The Gantt Report on Facebook.

The Gators (ranked. 4th nationally) won the opening coin toss and elected to receive the ball first in the second half so the RedHawks took the opening kickoff.

This was yours truly second time to interview and literally hang with the cast on the set. In a positively strange way it was like re- uniting with old friends for an afternoon. The cast was as upbeat and hilarious in person as they are on camera. They made the contingent gathenng of press feel right at home with a very relaxed and easy going greenroom. "Rules of Engagement" is a comedy about the different phases of male/female relationships. as seen through the eyes of a newly engaged couple. Adam (Oliver Hudson) and Jennifer (Bianca Kajlich), a long-time married pair. Jeff (Patrick Warburton) and Audrey (Megyn Price), and a single guy on the prowl, Russell (Da\ id Spade) and his assistant. Timmy (Adhir Kalyan). When asked about their characters and their development over the last five seasons, each cast member had funny as well as philosophi- cal observations. Kajlich (plays Jennifer) has to deal with her fiance Adam who appears not to be the brightest guy round. Kajlich laughs, "It is fun for me because as his character has gotten dumber, my character has gotten ballsi- er, smarter and fierier.

Price (plays Audrey) is by far the liveliest of the bunch and has us laugh- ing non-stop during her portion of the inter- views. Her biggest question was will Audrey and Adam have a baby this season? Price explodes in laughter, "I've never seen a baby really work on TV." When asked about being on the show, Price quips, "We have the most fun! I can't even believe that it is our job. Every so often we're like really? We have the most fun job." Something new has happened with Timmy (played by Kalyan). He smiles, "Timmy has a love interest this season." Kalyan really lights up when he describes what it was like to audi- tion the actresses for that role. "I had the real- ly arduous task of having to chemistry read with eighteen beautiful women to cast the role of Allison, which is the character's name." David Spade who plays Russell explains his character's relationship with Timmy. "In terms of chasing girls each episode, you can think of probable ways to do it and proper storylines but sometimes they don't give the girls much to do back so when someone does jokes back, it's more fun. And bringing him into a dynam- ic like chasing girls just helps that story be a little richer; one more level of I'm going through him for the girl and he's getting advice through me and there's more jokes happening and more things instead of just a straight one- on-one." Adam (played by Hudson), is somewhat of the dumb-wit of the bunch. Hudson explains, "I like being a dummy, I like being put into dumb situations that I get myself into when it comes to just blatant stupidity. I don't know if it played as well as I thought it might when doing it." And finally Jeff (played by Warburton) is summed up by Warburton say- ing, "Its fun being Jeff because he's a lot sharp- er than he leads on. He looks to be stupid, lame and purposely say the wrong things just to push buttons with Audrey and loves to bully Russell a little bit which is fun for me too because I never was a bully ever. I always got bullied. I was a lost kid in high school. 1 actu- ally hate bullies but its kind of fun in the sit- com world where it's not too serious."
